Claim 1

Original Legal Text

1. A light emitting device package comprising: a package substrate; an electrode layer extending along both surfaces of the package substrate; a light emitting device arranged on the package substrate and connected to the electrode layer; and a fluorescence film conformably covering a top surface and a side surface of the light emitting device and having a stepped top surface contour corresponding to contours of structures disposed underneath of the fluorescence film, the fluorescence film including: a first part covering the top surface of the light emitting device and having a first thickness, and a second part that covering the side surface of the light emitting device and having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness.

Plain English Translation

A light emitting device (LED) package includes a substrate with an LED mounted on it. An electrode layer extends along both surfaces of the substrate to connect to the LED. A fluorescence film (phosphor layer) covers the top and sides of the LED. The film has a stepped or uneven top surface reflecting the structure underneath. This fluorescence film has two parts: a thicker portion covering the LED's top surface and a thinner portion covering the LED's side surface. The varying thickness of the film optimizes light emission and color uniformity.

Claim 2

Original Legal Text

2. The light emitting device package of claim 1 , wherein the fluorescence film is integrally connected from the first part to the second part.

Plain English Translation

The light emitting device package from the previous description has a fluorescence film (phosphor layer) that is a single, continuous piece, seamlessly connected from the thicker part covering the LED's top to the thinner part covering its sides. This one-piece construction simplifies manufacturing and improves structural integrity, preventing delamination between the two thickness sections.

Claim 3

Original Legal Text

3. The light emitting device package of claim 1 , further comprising: a reflective film interposed between the side surface of the light emitting device and the second part of the fluorescence film.

Plain English Translation

The light emitting device package from the description of the LED package with a fluorescence film, also includes a reflective film positioned between the side of the LED and the thinner side portion of the fluorescence film (phosphor layer).
